A Sustainable Visit

In 2022, Port of Vágur began entering the cruise industry. However, the port wanted to do it differently than most destinations. Preparations led to the concept where cruise ships pre-purchase exclusive access to tourist attractions and cultural elements in Vágur and where "local" is the keyword. Emphasis is on social and environmental sustainability. The idea is that locals are crucial partners when cruise ships visit - they help organize passengers ashore, where they go, what they get access to and how they experience Vágur.
